Kneeling Woman with a Gray Cape (Wally Neuzil)

Egon Schiele1912

Leopold Museum

Leopold Museum
Vienna, Austria

In this lively watercolor study of Schiele's favourite model in this period, Wally Neuzil, he jxtaposed the reddish flesh tone to the gray-black of her dress. The folds of the fabric are wonderfully rendered, so that it appears as light is falling on them from above. Oddly enough, this study of a female model clearly served Schiele as a pattern for the figure of the cardinal in his painting Cardinal and Nun, even though the head here is turned and resting on the right shoulder.
